Hot tubs and spas are a great addition to homes in Vancouver as they
provide a healthy and fun way to relax. From reducing stress to improving
circulation, the benefits of hot tubs include both emotional and physical
components. Of course, to maximise your hot tub, you need to keep it clean and
in good condition. Here are some tips to help you do just that:
Starting from the Inside
The easiest way to keep the water inside a hot tub clean is to change
the water and clean the inside of the tub regularly at the recommended
intervals. There are also three important factors that contribute to the tub’s
water and interior cleanliness, namely the filter, sanitizer, and chemicals.
Common water purification chemicals are chlorine, bromine, and other
mineral-based purifiers that can kill standing bacteria and ensures that the
water remains clean and clear. The type of sanitizer that you can use to
“shock” the water will depend on how often you use your spa or hot tub and its
make, model, and size. Filters, meanwhile, are usually cleaned at least once a
month and must be replaced when they’re showing signs of damage.
Caring for the Outside
Did you know that majority of the debris and dirt that get into a hot
tub do not come from the people using it, but mainly from the outside elements?
This is why specially designed covers are vital in the proper care and
maintenance of hot tubs. Moreover, the protective shell around your hot tub is
non-porous and is therefore, impenetrable to germs and dirt. Keep the outer
covering of your hot tub nice and clean by periodically brushing and wiping it.
